LONDON (AP) — Wayne Rooney’s Derby County has been relegated to the third tier of English soccer to cap a miserable season that also saw the club docked 21 points for breaches of financial rules. A 1-0 loss at Queens Park Rangers left Derby 10 points from safety with three games remaining in the second-tier Championship. Derby has been in administration — a form of bankruptcy protection — since September. The debt-laden club’s sale to a new owner has yet to be finalized. It received two separate points deductions of nine and 12 at the start of the season. Rooney has been Derby’s manager since November 2020.
